To residents and visitors alike the Northeast Kingdom conjures the image of authentic Vermont communities and a rural history dating back hundreds of years. You will see and feel this history as soon as you arrive as you are greeted by working landscapes, quaint villages, vast woodlands and pristine waterways. Here a deep-rooted community spirit brings locals together in celebration. That sense of community and our regional history are part of our cultural fabric and can be felt in the many unique fairs, festivals, and events that take place throughout the region year-round. Small, intimate venues and galleries abound and showcase the vibrant local music, craft, and art scene. In addition, larger venues and historic theaters allow for larger, world-class events. Please browse the events listings below to learn about the many events and activities that will be hosted throughout the Kingdom this season!
